(B) The department shall grant a renewal application if the application is filed in a timely manner, the cultivator submits the corresponding renewal fee, the department confirms that nothing warrants the denial of the renewal under rule 3796:5-6-01 of the Administrative Code, and the cultivator passes a full inspection, unless a full inspection was passed within three months before the renewal date.
(C) If a renewal application is not filed prior to the expiration date of the certificate of operation, the certificate of operation shall be suspended for a maximum of thirty days, at which point it will be deemed expired if the cultivator has not successfully renewed the certificate of operation under paragraph (B) of this rule.
